The embroidery work is done free hand ( no embroidery hoop ) by the intellectually handicapped beneficiaries at my primary site , ПОРАКА НЕГОТИНО ( PORAKA NEGO- TINO ) in Negotino . It is a leading NGO with the mission to protect the rights and dignity of persons with intellectual disabilities and their families , as well as promote their full integration in all spheres of society .
The carved wooden plaques are made by Macedonian artisans working at Стари Занаети ( Old Crafts ) in Negotino , an organization I have been involved with this past year . It is an NGO which was established in 2004 by a group of enthusiasts dedicated to reviving and preserving the old Macedonian crafts ( especially wood carving ) and improve the material and social conditions of the citizens of the region . Proceeds from the sale of their work enable the organization to work toward those goals as well as to teach others these skills in order to continue their work .
The carved plaques are 6 ” - 8 ” tall and will have the PCV ’ s site and service years carved in the wood . They come with a hanger affixed to the back
